Correct Answer: Dharasana Salt Works raid | Women of BardoliYour Answer: B

Explanation

This paired question tests two independent historical relationships and requires both to be correct in the stated order. After Gandhi was arrested on 5 May 1930 Sarojini Naidu led the raid on the Dharasana Salt Works in Gujarat. Correspondent Webb Miller's dispatches about this event shocked the world and drew international attention to India's freedom struggle. Chronology resolves the item: Dharasana Salt Works raid occupies the position required by “Sarojini Naidu known as the 'Nightingale of India' led which famous protest after Gandhi was arrested in 1930?”, while a merely famous contemporary name would not satisfy every part of the stem. This development forms part of the changing national movement, in which constitutional For statement two, the supported answer is Women of Bardoli. The title 'Sardar' (meaning Commander or Chief) was given to Vallabhbhai Patel by the women of Bardoli during the Bardoli Satyagraha of 1928. The women renamed him Sardar as he led the farmers' struggle against enhanced land revenue. Gandhi endorsed the title. Patel later became known as Sardar Patel or the Iron Man of India. The answer turns on the exact role assigned in “The Bardoli Satyagraha (1928) gave the title 'Sardar' to Vallabhbhai Patel. Who gave him this title?”. Evidence connecting Women of Bardoli to that role is stronger than a general connection with Therefore the correct ordered pair is Dharasana Salt Works raid followed by Women of Bardoli. An option containing only one correct component must be rejected because the stem asks for a complete two-part match.

  • The second verified component is Women of Bardoli.
  • The ordered answer is Dharasana Salt Works raid followed by Women of Bardoli.
  • Any pair omitting Dharasana Salt Works raid or Women of Bardoli is incomplete.
